You can program the TK-7102/7108/8102/8108 transceiver with the KPG-70D programming software.

We recommend you input all the necessary programming data and save the data to the PC using this software. After this is completed, program the transceiver using the stored data. Print out the programming data if desired.

You can also retrieve the transceiver data in order to modify it on the PC.

The PC must have a serial communication port. The communication port must be compatible with IBM PC asynchronous communications adapter specifications.

You may use the COM1, COM2, COM3 or COM4 port on the PC.

< Connecting a transceiver to the PC >

Use the optional KPG-46 interface cable to connect the transceiver to the PC.

2 CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT

=============================

1. Make sure the PC power is off.

2. Connect the 25-pin connector (DB25) of the KPG-46 cable to the PC COM1, COM2, COM3 or COM4 port. If the COM port has only 9 pins (DB9), use a plug adapter to convert the DB25 to a DB9.

3. Turn the PC on.

4. Make sure the transceiver power is off.

5. Connect the connector of the KPG-46 cable to the transceiver microphone connector.

6. Turn the transceiver on.

3 INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

=============================

After connecting the transceiver to the PC (with the KPG-46 cable), you are ready to install the KPG-70D programming software.

***[INSTALLING the KPG-70D PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE TO YOUR HARD DISK]***

1. Insert the KPG-70D Setup DISK1 into drive A.

2. Open Explorer (File managing application), and select A:

3. Select Setup.exe.

The installation program copies the necessary files from drive A to the hard disk.

4 PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW

=========================

***[PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE]***

This section explains three typical programming operations.

Note: When the programming data is transferred from the PC to the transceiver (writing the programming data) or vice versa (reading the programming data), the transceiver will automatically enter PC mode.

**[CREATING AND WRITING NEW DATA TO A TRANSCEIVER]**

1. Specify the transceiver model you want to program. (Model)

2. Input all necessary data. (Edit)

3. Write the data to the transceiver. (Program/Write to Radio)

4. Copy the data to a disk if necessary. (File/Save As)

**[MODIFYING DATA PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN TO A TRANSCEIVER]**

1. Read the transceiver data. (Program/Read from Radio)

2. Modify the data. (Edit)

3. Write the modified data to the transceiver. (Program/Write to Radio)

4. Copy the data to a disk if necessary. (File/Save As)

**[MODIFYING DISK DATA, THEN WRITING TO A TRANSCEIVER]**

1. Read the disk data. (File/Open)

2. Modify the data. (Edit)

3. Write the data to the transceiver. (Program/Write to Radio)

4. Copy the data to a disk if necessary. (File/Save As)

5 BASIC OPERATIONS

====================

***[STARTING THE PROGRAM]***

After installing the software, you can immediately program the TK-7102/7108/8102/8108 transceiver.

Select the KPG70D icon in the Programs folder, which is displayed when you select Programs from the Start Menu. Splash screen will appear then the channel information window will appear.

***[EXITING THE PROGRAM]***

When you finish programming the transceiver, select Exit from the File menu.

***[INITIAL SCREEN]***

First, set up the model of the transceiver.

The top menu screen consists of a menu bar (top) and a Channel Information window.

The menu bar shows the available pull-down title menus. Use the menus to open windows so that you can edit and/or process data, and execute commands.
